Random source files opening in CubeIDE when downloading firmware

[Ricko]

Hi,

every time I download the code from CubeIDE into the micro, a seemingly random file (every time a different one) opens up in the editor. More specifically it opens in the split editor area that is active when I press Run (i.e. left window or right window in the editor screenshot below).

Furthermore it opens only system/library source and header files like stm32l4xx_ll_adc.h, stm32l4xx_hal_tim_ex.c and stm32l4xx_hal_gpio.c and not the source files I created.

Any idea why and how to prevent it from doing that?

Thank you

Hi Ricko,

this is an old issue.

They tagged it as "solved" by opening a ticket.

They will fix it "asap" since over 4 years :(

My solution is dragging all popup source window down to Console tab group. When you compiling, it will switch back to console tab anyway, so not annoying in the future.
